A unique and delicious blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Shiraz and 10% Merlot, this South Africa Red comes from the admired Neil Ellis winery. It scored 90 pts and a Best Buy in Wine Enthusiast magazine which wrote "Vibrant fruit and muscular tannins are integrated by clean minerality." It's a lively, mouthfilling red that tastes like it should cost much, much more.
